Author’s Notes:
- These are easy and convenient recipes for the busy week night meals.
- If any ingredients seems to be too much, use your judgement and adjust the amounts.
- Make sure you are aware of your Instant Pot’s user instructions.
- Be careful when venting your Instant Pot. I use an oven mitt when I am venting mine so I don’t get burned.
- I wrote the cooking instructions on the outside of the freezer bag with a permanent marker along with the prep date.
